Another Friday, another batch of games shipped to stores. Instead of giving them all their own posts, we grouped them, and so far there are announcements for:

NBA Ballers: Phenom (PS2/Xbox)

The highly anticipated sequel in the NBA Ballers franchise takes flight with even more player customization options and all-new game modes that make NBA Ballers: Phenom the most in-depth and innovative basketball game in Midway's rich basketball history.

"NBA Ballers: Phenom is a unique combination of the franchise's highly praised, fast-paced basketball gameplay and the culture of today's professional athlete celebrity," said Steve Allison, chief marketing officer, Midway. "Midway is continuously looking for ways to improve the player's ability to fully customize and interact with the game environment and to ultimately make decisions throughout the gameplay experience that affect the end result. NBA Ballers: Phenom retains the over the top basketball gameplay that Midway is known for while also offering the player so much more, both on and off the court."

NBA Ballers: Phenom is a revolutionary sports video game that introduces an entirely new open world and interactive environment, featuring an exciting story mode and even more player customization opportunities than its predecessor. Set in the neighborhoods of Los Angeles, the player controls his own destiny, embarking on a personal quest to become tomorrow's NBA phenomenon. For the first time ever in the franchise, the NBA Ballers: Phenom story mode allows the unique opportunity to develop both on and off-the-court adventures. Players can make the decision to either follow the Baller's dream by getting noticed on the court and drafted into the NBA, or to become an entrepreneur off-the-court complete with a clothing line, record label and a movie deal. NBA Ballers: Phenom also introduces for the first time, 2-v-2 basketball action so players can now face off in 1-v-1, 1-v-1-v-1, or 2-v-2 matches.
